Need Keyboard and Xserver help...


I'll try to explain this the best I can. When I am in Xserver my keyboard like to double type. ie: (this iss an unedited sentence annd you can see that a couple off letters aree typed twice.) It has no ryme or reason that I can tell. I'm running SuSE 8.0 on a Toshiba laptop 1405-S151. I'm using Xiamin Gnome as my WM but it doesn't matter which one I use I does it in all of them. I've played with all of settings under YaST2 and Control Center that I know of . I even tried to turn off the autorepeat function, and have slowed down the rate to where I almost have had to press each button for a full second to get it to reconize the keystroke. Also this is ONLY while I am in my Xserver. Does not do this under any other terminal. Any segustions would help.

Thanks,
TheDrew

Any significant lines in your XF86Config-4 file, or the X logs?

Question Hmmm....

Unfortuntaly I'm kindda newbie and I really couldn't answer that question. I've looked through about 100 different logs and didn't find anything of importance, though I don't know where I was looking and what I was looking for (still didn't mind looking thouh ) But everything else seems to be fine.... and all the keys are working so I don't know what kind of message I would find in a log...

Thanks again...
